Graphene wetsuit

ABSTRACT

A wetsuit material that implements graphene material. The wetsuit of the present invention provides substantial strength and protection against cuts and abrasions. The implementation of graphene to a wetsuit protects the user from punctures from breakage and provides further protection for the diver when in use.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of Invention

The present invention relates to a wetsuit made of graphene material forprotective purposes.

Description of Related Art

A wetsuit is a garment normally made of neoprene that is usually worn bysurfers, divers, windsurfers or other individuals that may be engaged inwater sports. The wetsuit provides thermal insulation, abrasionresistance and buoyancy. Insulation properties help to avoid heattransfer allowing the individual to enjoy water activities in a coolenvironment. Wetsuits come in different styles such as a wetsuit withshort leggings and other wetsuits that contain full leggings. Furtherthe wetsuits vary in thickness in order to provide further heat orthermal protection with a thicker variety of a wetsuit. Further thewetsuit may come with a hood for head covering.

Although wetsuits provide suitable thermal insulation and buoyance butsome wetsuits are subject to punctures or abrasions when swimming ordiving in or near coral reef areas. Such punctures could be hazardous tothe user of a wetsuit and cause substantial injury to the diver.Graphene is a carbon with a hexeagonal lattice. The properties of thismaterial are that it is a very strong material that provides suitableheat conduction and also conducts electricity. Graphene is primarilyused as a semiconductor in electronics batteries and compositesindustries due to its strong nature and ability to conduct electricity.Other applications of graphene include solar cells, light emittingdials, touch panels and smart windows or phones. However theimplementation of such a material into a wetsuit could providesubstantial strength resistance from abrasions and cuts.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A wetsuit material that implements graphene material. The wetsuit of thepresent invention provides substantial strength and protection againstcuts and abrasions. The implementation of graphene to a wetsuit protectsthe user from punctures from breakage and provides further protectionfor the diver when in use.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 depicts a wetsuit that implements graphene within the materialfor protective purposes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to wetsuit material that implementsgraphene to provide substantial strength and protection against cuts andabrasions. The implementation of graphene to the material of a wetsuitas shown in FIG. 1 helps to protect the user from punctures frombreakage and provides further protection for the diver when in use.

The wetsuit 100 of FIG. 1 includes sleeves 20 a, 20 b along withleggings 30 a, 30 b. The present invention involves the implementationof the graphene materials throughout the leggings and torso of thewetsuit 100. Further graphene is implemented into the sleeves 20 a, 20b. Implementation of this material as a result helps to protectindividuals from possible cuts and abrasions when using the wetsuit 100.This implementation of this material serves as a strengthening of thesynthetic fibers of the wetsuit and increases the safety of the wetsuit.The wetsuit 100 still maintains the thermal insulation and buoyancynormally associated with the wetsuit.

The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the presentinvention have been presented for purposes of illustration anddescription. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit theinvention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously manymodifications and variations are possible in light of the aboveteaching. The exemplary embodiment was chosen and described in order tobest explain the principles of the invention and its practicalapplication, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilizethe invention and various embodiments with various modifications as aresuited to the particular use contemplated.

What is claimed is:
 1. A wet suit comprising implementation of graphenematerial.
